The Cucumber Book (2nd edition) is now available!

The second edition of The Cucumber Book is now in print! Updated for the latest versions of Cucumber, Rails and RSpec.

The new edition has been refreshed by Steve Tooke with the help of the original authors Matt Wynne and Aslak Hellesøy. The Cucumber for Java Book was published in 2015 authored by Matt, Aslak and Seb Rose.

Few tools have managed to bridge the developer-customer divide as well as Cucumber has. Cucumber is not a tool for testing applications. Cucumber is a philosophy for communicating requirements. This book brings that philosophy to life.

I devoured the Cucumber book on a train ride from Grenoble to Brussels a few days after watching Matt’s presentation “BDD As It’s Meant to Be Done.” These two resources helped me understand in just a few hours how to avoid dozens of common mistakes writing scenarios in the Cucumber style. It’s as though I received an injection of perhaps two years of experience writing scenarios poorly so that I didn’t have to go through it all myself. What a gift. I recommend this book to everyone working with Cucumber.

Teams can use Cucumber to get a better understanding of what software to build for their customers. In this book, Aslak and Matt do a brilliant job explaining how you get started with Cucumber with plenty of easy-to-follow examples.
